My neighbor's exact thought process
(lemmy.ml)
What time is polite on the ‘weekend’?
i used to work at a customer service call centre, we had a rule against making outbound calls before 9am

10am is my personal cut off. I won't mow the lawn or do anything loud until after then. My kids on the other hand are the wildcard.
I'll run my electric lawnmower earlier than I will a gas one.
Mines electric but I'd still consider it loud enough to disturb people

My neighbor was practicing with a trumpet at 1 am last night.
Drunk trumpeting is a special joy
Ohhh i'm legit printing this and sticking it on my neighbours car.
You don't need to leave a fuvking hemi running to 'warm up' 2m from a bedroom window on a weekend IN FUCKING MELBOURNE
Neighbor cuts their postage stamp lawn with a loud lawn mower for 30 minutes. When they finish the next neighbor thinks to themself, 'I should cut my lawn', and starts a loud mower. When they finish the next neighbor starts. ALL Saturday. One after the other! Can't you all just do it at the same time! Why can't you use a push mower on a lawn that is smaller than a car parking spot! Why does it take you 30minutes, of using loud power tools, to cut a lawn the size of a car parking spot!!!
People need to start embracing electric mowers and trimmers. They're way quieter and easier to maintain. My Ego mower is still going strong after five years on the same battery.
I think we need to normalize alternative landscaping. Think tall and thin sumac with lots of mulch on the ground. Once in a year dump lots of mulch and don't mow anything. If you don't like gardening, and don't spend time outside, just plant large bushes and mulch. I see so many people around that just don't care about their lawn, and do the easiest thing so it looks like everybody else's.
What'd he do?
He burned our crops, poisoned our water supply, and delivered a plague unto our houses

Look how lucky you are. Mine desides 23:00 is the perfect time to start drilling.
Doing the lawn after dark seems so unwholesome. Which is annoying because I could use a 25° drop in temperature.
What about flying a kite in the dark?
And depending on the size of your lot, maybe you could use a reel mower. They're nearly silent!
You could also use a scythe, but that sounds like a lot more work.
Moving blankets are a wonderful solution. Hang them over your windows and enjoy the quiet. Get thick ones. Uhaul has good ones.
Ive often contemplated replacing the muffler on my rider with one designed for a passenger car
